ASAK, i am upgrading my old tv to smart tv, it's a one time upgrade so i need advice that which brand have the most captivating features and Crisp display.
There is this brand (TCL) And the Other is (Noble-Skiodo) these two brands caught my attention.
i am completely confused which one to buy as both of them seems good to me but i haven't checked their demo's yet.
if there are any other brand you know which are better,then do let me know.


P.S: i am very selective when it comes to tech. :D

bro, first you should make your queries clear, eg screen size, normal smart tv or UHD etc...
anyways, there is a complete tv guide here on the forum, although it never really helped (no offence to PG) because personal preference always comes first, depending on budget and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thingy.

u shud know that pakistan, as always, has a major share in fake LED tvs these days.. meaning you'll find 8 in every 10 tvs to be fake.. you need to learn "how to differentiate between the original and the fake ones. this might seem off topic, but trust me, brand means s**t if you dont qualify yourself enough to know what is real or fake.

coming back to your preferences, leading brands are ofc > sony, samsung, LG (panasonic and sharp too, but for some reason, they are quite underestimated)..
ur 2nd chain of brands are TCL, CHANGHONG RUBA ...
your third tier of choices are ecostar, haier, orient... and others

now let me let me tell you one thing clearly > TCL pakistan is NOT,... i repeat, IS NOT. the same as TCL america ( you can see the logo, america is black red, and pak is white red) this is the first thing youll notice.. secondly, even though TCL pak admits to making its OWN panels, i hate to disagree.. coz lets face it, its pakistan, they arent capable of doing anything, other then make crap items. (no offence to anyone,in relations with these makers).

i have personally used LG ,SAMSUNG, ECOSTAR AND SONY AS WELL (although sony was not my personal tv)... i honestly have to say that they all depend on ur variance of choices> price,screen size, beauty appeal, durablity. etc etc. LG for me has worked well over the years, as well as samsung, although built and quality wise. i always felt LG was far greater (no matter how absurd samsung and sony list their prices, all bogus- marketing gimmick)...

iv seen TCL on displays, and it would seem they look brighter, nicer toned, good panels etc compared to ruba.. but again preference. im wanting myself to get a smart tv for myself, and also confused and been looking for one for literally 4-5 months now. nothing has appealed to me properly. i like the TCL TCL 32S4900 32" HD Go Live Smart, for personal use and features. and seems pretty decent for price and value (2 yr warranty). its the only company giving 2 yr, no one else does. considering the price,features, warranty feature, id seriously recommend this... BUT ... and a big BUT... is it worth it? if you are planning on getting something "one time change" i seriously suggest a good quality brand, LG is my personal preference, for quality build, fantastic screens layout. (currently im interested in this LG 32LH604V 32 inch 1080p Full HD Smart TV WebOS- Black | eBay) ... i found this in KARKHANO market- as i live in peshawar, and this was the best i could find ,price and quality wise)

i hope you find a good deal and wish you good luck. let us know when you do get something finally :)

Thanks a lot for taking your time out and helping me :) and sorry I could not express my queries clearly... After lots of research I finally made a choice to go for Tcl. Things That made me choose TCl:
1) It's cheaper than Samsung And LG (You cannot compare Samsung and Lg to Tcl Tho)
2) Beauty Is not something I seek, I need something That Can last a long Time With me and Everyone Suggested Tcl Since Its More durable Than Ecostar And ChangHong
3) The Display On Tcl Is Worth The Money They are asking, I found It to be more Colorful And Vivid Than Other Chinese Brands
4) Tcl doesn't have Android It have its own GoLive 2.0 Which Is Something That Got Me disappointed But since it have all the android features it can come along with me :)
5)I Have a limited Price Range So Samsung And Lg are more expensive so that's another reason I chose Tcl.
That's it And InshaAllah will Buy It This Month
I Actually want to get The 49' Curved Smart Led(64,000 Pkrs) But Will have to wait another Month For it else will Go for 43' its about 43,000 Pkrs. :)

not at all bro. im glad youve chosen something.

the reason i sent you a few links was to do some comparison in case you had problems selecting anything. can you please "specify" the disappointment you stated out? i want to purchase one for my parents also. nothing too fancy. just for them to watch some series etc, youtube and all. but if there is anything not good about the GoLive, you can please try and highlight it? our pakistani friends dont seem to point out these things, and google doesnt show ANY forum regarding GoLive of TCL for pakistan :(

only youtube does, and im not assured by them

Don't go for TCL's smart TV. I have it and although it has good picture quality, the interface is laggy as hell, it's unusable.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
